Club members are hopeful that it will
become an annual event and establish
GRCC as a place where Indians may
come together to display the keen com­petition
that is part of their heritage.
Finally a place for
quiet, solitude on campus
The purpose of the Music Listening
Room is to provide a pleasing atmos­phere
in which students and faculty may
relax and listen to prerecorded stereo
music. At present, only two different
programs are offered simultaneously.
Future expansion plans call for a total of
six stereo programs to be available to
the listener.

next week
The Science-Technology Department
at Green River Community College will
be adding a new building to its facilities
by 1974 according to President, Dr. Mel­vin
Lindbloom.
The purpose of the building will be to
create more space and allow for expan­sion
to cope with the greater number of
students. The present buildings housf' a
maximum of 559 students, 220 in t.he
classroom and 339 in the labs.
The planning for the complex began
last spring with architects from Norman
Aehle and Associates and members of
the staff and administration of Green
River.
The cost of the building will total $1,-
850,490 with $1,636,772 going towards the
construction of it and $213,718 coveri.1g
lab tests, furnishing, equipment and con­tingency.
The new building will be located on
48,600 square feet of land south of the
physical education playfield within the
forest. In size it will be larger than the
Lindbloom Student Center and be a
three-story complex with the bottom
floor to be used for storage of equipment
and one-third of the top floor as faculty
and secretarial offices.
Contained in this new building will be
mechanical technology, drafting, phys­ics,
geology, forestry, civil engineering
technology, math, the air traffic control
program, general engineering, a prothet­ics
lab (part of the physical therapy
program) and possibly an ecology lab.
To accommodate the new building,
the facilities from the old buildings will
be moved into it to create more space
for the math and science classes.
"It will be a tremendous asset to us,"
said Dr. Lindbloom, "it will give us a
chance to begin and look at new pro­grams.
It will also provide more job
openings, when we have the resources."
When asked if the construction would
provide local area jobs Ile said, "it's
hard to say, our general contractors
come from the metropolitan area, but
there is a chance that labor would come
from the local area."
According to the architects, the tenta-tive
progress schedule is as follows :
July 1, 1972 Advertise for bids
July 24, 1972 Call for bids
August 1, 1972 Sign contracts
August 15, 1972 Begin construction
December 1, 1973 Final completion
January 1, 1974 Occupancy by owner
VP receives vote
of no-confidence
The first order of business as the
GRCC senate reconvened on Jan. 5, was
the presentation of a bill by Pat Wick·
strom. The bill suggested that the sena·
tors give a vote of no confidence to vice
president Mike Conlan for "flagrant der·
eliction of duties." A vote of no confid­ence
is a method of reprimanding an of·
ficer who is in some way not fulfilling
his duties.
After some discussion, mostly con·
cerned with the lack of parliamentary
procedure, the previous question was
called.
This means that the senate must vote
whether to continue discussion, or vote
on the bill then. The vote was yes, which
put the bill to a vote. It was passed by
In the Senate's \vake
six yes votes to one no, with one absten­tion.
Wickstrom then presented a bill to set
up a three man committee to study the
feasability of setting up a day care cen­ter
at GRCC, and report on its findings
after one month.
The bill passed unanimously, without
discussion.
Bev Walker, who has been working
for some time toward getting a daycare
center for GRCC, was appointed chair­man
of that committee, to be assisted by
Pat Wickstrom and Peggie Peda.
An election was also held to fill the
senator at large position vacated by
Steve McDaniels. Galen Marcille was
elected to fill that post.
Conlan presents
the other side
MIKE CONLAN
This is an impromptu interview with
Mike Conlan only two days after the
GRCC Student Senate had passed a vote
of no confidence on his performance as
ASB vice-president. Since then a few
senators have taken it unto themselves
to attempt his impeachment.
CONLAN: "Man's first instinct when
attacked is basically to retaliate with the
same and I or put up walls and defenses.
One feels hurt and more often than not
tends to withdraw within themselves,
becoming 'tight lipped.
"I am aware· of these factors and trying
to keep their influence at a minimum. I
now aspire to keep aware of the sena­tors'
different feelings on the subject and
accept everything as objectively as I
can."
CURRENT: Are the other members of
the executive board behind you, against
you, against you, or uncommitted?
CONLAN: "The other three members of
the executive board felt that I should
have my hands slapped but there was
some question as to whether the vote of
no confidence was necessary."
CURRENT: Do you have a blanket state­ment
concerning this action and its im­plications?
CONLAN: "I am me. I am a human
being with feelings and both good and
bad traits. I am willing to stand up and
take both flak and praise for what I am
and how I feel."
Senators attE.. ... .u.pL
·ouster of Conlan
By Roger Rice
The Student Senate, January 5, mot­ioned
towards the removal of A.S.B.
Vice-President Mike Conlan.
The process of impeachment began
when Pat Wickstrom, senator at large,
moved that the Senate reprimand Conlan
for neglecting his duties. After some dis­cussion
the Senate then voted unani­mously
in favor of reprimand.
One of the Senators said later that it
will be very hard to impeach Conlan
and Conlan won't resign. The Senator
continued that it will be easier to take
away Conlan's powers.
Another informed source said that
Conlan was disrupting the Senate, which
should be organized at its meetings, and
making meetings a farce.
Parliamentary procedure usually dic­tates
that the chairman voices no opinion
of his own or does so before a meeting
starts. The chairman can also talk to a
Senator before a meeting to have a mo­tion
made and have the floor open for
discussion. It seems that Conlan takes
neither of these alternatives, when he is
present as chairman, but voices his opin­ion
and takes control instead of keeping
control, a Senator states.
There are many complaints that the
individual Senators are making. They
said that Conlan has called special meet­ings,
forcing many of the Senators to
alter their schedules to be in attendance,
then not shown up himself.
He has missed many Executive Board
meetings. He has missed special meet­ings.
He was not in attendance at special
meetings over Christmas vacation. He
has been absent at too many Senate
meetings of which he is the supposed
chairman, the accumulated charges
state.
The Senate motion might have been
premature but the reasons are solid, so
they feel.
Tim Cosgrove, former candidate for
A.S.B. president, presided over a special
meeting held Tuesday to decide what the
Senate could actually do about Conlan. It
will have to be decided whether they
have the power to impeach him or
whether it requires a vote of the student
body.
One Senator asks what will happen if
Conlan is not impeached and how will
the Senate be able to work with him af­ter
the proceedings are finished?
Conlan is expected to fight the Senate
all the way to maintain his position as
A.S.B. vice president.

coming to GRCC
An outdoor program is bemg devel­oped
at GRCC this quarter to interest
more people in outdoor recreation.
Although it is a new concept at GR,
outdoor programs have been successful
at Western Washington State College,
the 'nh t.1·sity of Washington, 0rtguu
State and Idaho State. The program is
designed for employment of the outdoors
with a wide choice of activities.
Hiking, backpacking, camping, canoe­ing,
snowshoeing, skiing, horseback rid­ing
and climbing will be available to
GRCC students.
"This is a program, not a club,"
states Terry Ingram, Commissioner of
Clubs and Organizations. It will include
all the established activity clubs at
GRCC, but they will retain their separate
organizations. Any student can partici­pate
in the new program.
Although it is in the experimental or
planning stage this quarter, the outdoor
program will be in full swing spring
quarter, predicts Ingram.
This winter ropes and climbing equip­ment
are being purchased with moneys
from the club fund. Pac-sacs. frame5;,
snow:>hues ;ma omdmgs w1l1 be labncat­ed
at GRCC with the help of people from
the PE department and Hiking and Ski
clubs.
When all the equipment is procured,
it will be stored in an equipment room in
the Lindbloom Student Center. Any stu­dent
can check-out the equipment with a
small deposit and maintenance fee. The
money collected from the maintenance
fee will go to purchase more equipment,
as well as keeping the used equipment in
good condition.
A calendar with dates of hikes, speak·
ers and instruction will be out some time
in February.

Dean of Students asks
financial aids committee
for ASB officer wages
Dick Barclay, acting Dean of Stu­dents,
presented a new proposal to the
Financial Aids Committee at the J anu­ary
6, 1972 meeting which would set a
pay scale for the G.R.C.C. student body
president, Vice President, Administra­tive
Assistant, and Comptroller.
Barclay said that the student govern
ment officers "should get paid for their
responsibilities." At present, the student
body officers are not paid for their du­ties,
and must find other student employ·
ment on campus in order to be paid.
Barclay proposed that the A.S.B.
president should be paid $2. 75 per hour,
and the vice president $2.50 per hour.
The administrative· assistant and comp­troller
would receive $2.25 per hour.
ASB officers will only be able to work
a maximum of 15 hours per week.
By working the maximum time al
lowed, the president would receive $1,-
361.25 for the nine month school year,
plus $330.00 for eight weeks of summer
school. The vice president would receive
$1,237.50 per year. The administrative
assistant and comptroller would receive
$1,113.75 annually.
This pay scale will have to be ap·
proved by the Student Senate, and it
would be the responsibility of the execu
tive board to budget accordingly for stu­dent
government.
The capabilities of the Music Listen­ing
Room presently include the reception
of local AM and FM stereo stations, as
well as the playback of longplay records
and prerecorded reel-type tapes. It is not
equipped to handle 45 r.p.m. records.
Program selections are determined by
request only, and listings of available
selections are located at various points
about the room, including at the equip­ment
desk. Should you have a tape or
record of your own which you would like
to hear, simply request the attendant to
play it for you. Due to the limited num­ber
of program channels presently in use
and the quantity of requests received,
only one side of each l.p. record can be
played before another request is com­plied
with. The purpose of this policy is
to enable the listening room staff to han­dle
a minimum of three requests per
hour per turntable (there are two), in­stead
of two or less. Thus, more people
are served. Requests will be honored in
the order in which they are received.
John Brodie, San Francisco 49er
quarterback, will be speaking on the
Green River Community College campus
January 18 at 8:00 p.m. in the Main Din­ing
Room of the Lindbloom Student Cen­ter.
CURRENT: Do you think the complaint
is well founded?
CONLAN: "Charges too numerous t~
mention is rhetoric B.S. to me. If some­one
has charges they should list them. I
can relate to facts but not to 'charges
too numerous to mention."'
Politics to highlight seminars
Use of the room is quite simple. Re·
quest one of the fifteen headsets from
the listening room attendant at the desk,
and plug your headset into one of the
control boxes around the room (ask the
attendant for help in locating one, if nec­essary).
Select either of the two present­ly
available channels by operating the
six-position switch on the control box,
and adjust the volume control, also on
the control box. That's all you have to
do. Request sheets and record lists are
located at several points throughout the
room to help you choose the music you
would like to hear.
When dealing with large numbers of
people in a building like the Lindbloom
Student Center, it is necessary to have
guidelines for the different areas. The
listening room guidelines are as fl!lllows :
I. No eating or drinking
2. Keep shoes off furniture
3. Do not tamper with or remove any
Brodie, who graduated from Stanford
University, recently completed his fif­teenth
season as a 49er. He has been an
All Pro quarterback and has led the Na­tional
Football League in total yardage.
He is probably best known for his leader­ship
abilities on the playing field.
He will be bringing with him filmed
highlights of the past 49er season. Fol­lowing
his talk and the filmed highlights,
there will be a question-and-answer peri­od.
WSU to accept
Stan Berry, Director of Admissions at
Washington State University, has an­nounced
that students graduating from
Green River Community College with the
Associate in Arts or the Associate in Sci­ence
degree can enroll at WSU with full
junior standing beginning with the fall
semester, 1972.
Students with the Associate in Arts,
CURRENT: If impeached, will you ap­peal?
CONLAN: "I would strongly consider
it."
CURRENT: Would your feelings about
the action change depending on whether
or not you are impeached?
CONLAN: "I don't think my feelings
would change whether I am impeached
or not."
CURRENT: Have your relations with the
student senators or other members of
the executive board been dfected?
GRCC grads
or the Associate in Science degree will
have already completed the General
University Requirements at WSU, and
will be held only for the departmental
requirements of the program in which
they seek a degree. The student must
also obtain the sufficient total credits to
meet the 120 hours required for degrees
at WSU.
"Now is the time when things are
happening, and now is the time to get
involved."
. This sentence basically summarizes
the reasons for the political seminars
which are to be held today and Monday
in SS 2 at noon.
Directed by John Barnard and Mere­dith
Van Ry, these informal "rap" ses­sions
will "attempt to show students how
they can get directly involved in govern­ment,
NOW," according to Barnard.
The general format will be open, al­lowing
a broad variety of subjects to be
covered.
Barnard points out that these meet­ings
are open to anyone interested and
that they are to be totally non-partisan.
The first meeting, this afternoon, is
expected to cover the aspects of 'party
structure, technical processes in regard
to nominating conventions as compare<!
to what really happens and a particular
emphasis on involvement. Much atten­tion
is also expected to be given to the
upcoming party caucuses and their im­pact
on all other aspects of party politics
including national nominating conven­tions.
The key word, says Barnard, is in­volvement.
The seminars will try to
show young people what they can do to
. influence party politics by working with
and through the system, NOW.
Although only two seminars are pres­ently
scheduled by Barnard and Mrs.
Van Ry, both of whom have been in
volved in practical party politics before,
more can be scheduled by Barnard and
Mrs. Van Ry, both of whom have been
involved in practical party politics be­fore,
more can be scheduled if there
appears to be sufficient interest. This
would allow people to request topics and
speakers, something which, Barnard
says, he would be quite willing to set up.

An outdoor program is bemg devel­oped
at GRCC this quarter to interest
more people in outdoor recreation.
Although it is a new concept at GR,
outdoor programs have been successful
at Western Washington State College,
the 'nh t.1·sity of Washington, 0rtguu
State and Idaho State. The program is
designed for employment of the outdoors
with a wide choice of activities.
Hiking, backpacking, camping, canoe­ing,
snowshoeing, skiing, horseback rid­ing
and climbing will be available to
GRCC students.
"This is a program, not a club,"
states Terry Ingram, Commissioner of
Clubs and Organizations. It will include
all the established activity clubs at
GRCC, but they will retain their separate
organizations. Any student can partici­pate
in the new program.
Although it is in the experimental or
planning stage this quarter, the outdoor
program will be in full swing spring
quarter, predicts Ingram.
This winter ropes and climbing equip­ment
are being purchased with moneys
from the club fund. Pac-sacs. frame5;,
snow:>hues ;ma omdmgs w1l1 be labncat­ed
at GRCC with the help of people from
the PE department and Hiking and Ski
clubs.
When all the equipment is procured,
it will be stored in an equipment room in
the Lindbloom Student Center. Any stu­dent
can check-out the equipment with a
small deposit and maintenance fee. The
money collected from the maintenance
fee will go to purchase more equipment,
as well as keeping the used equipment in
good condition.
A calendar with dates of hikes, speak·
ers and instruction will be out some time
in February.

Dean of Students asks
financial aids committee
for ASB officer wages
Dick Barclay, acting Dean of Stu­dents,
presented a new proposal to the
Financial Aids Committee at the J anu­ary
6, 1972 meeting which would set a
pay scale for the G.R.C.C. student body
president, Vice President, Administra­tive
Assistant, and Comptroller.
Barclay said that the student govern
ment officers "should get paid for their
responsibilities." At present, the student
body officers are not paid for their du­ties,
and must find other student employ·
ment on campus in order to be paid.
Barclay proposed that the A.S.B.
president should be paid $2. 75 per hour,
and the vice president $2.50 per hour.
The administrative· assistant and comp­troller
would receive $2.25 per hour.
ASB officers will only be able to work
a maximum of 15 hours per week.
By working the maximum time al
lowed, the president would receive $1,-
361.25 for the nine month school year,
plus $330.00 for eight weeks of summer
school. The vice president would receive
$1,237.50 per year. The administrative
assistant and comptroller would receive
$1,113.75 annually.
This pay scale will have to be ap·
proved by the Student Senate, and it
would be the responsibility of the execu
tive board to budget accordingly for stu­dent
government.
The capabilities of the Music Listen­ing
Room presently include the reception
of local AM and FM stereo stations, as
well as the playback of longplay records
and prerecorded reel-type tapes. It is not
equipped to handle 45 r.p.m. records.
Program selections are determined by
request only, and listings of available
selections are located at various points
about the room, including at the equip­ment
desk. Should you have a tape or
record of your own which you would like
to hear, simply request the attendant to
play it for you. Due to the limited num­ber
of program channels presently in use
and the quantity of requests received,
only one side of each l.p. record can be
played before another request is com­plied
with. The purpose of this policy is
to enable the listening room staff to han­dle
a minimum of three requests per
hour per turntable (there are two), in­stead
of two or less. Thus, more people
are served. Requests will be honored in
the order in which they are received.
John Brodie, San Francisco 49er
quarterback, will be speaking on the
Green River Community College campus
January 18 at 8:00 p.m. in the Main Din­ing
Room of the Lindbloom Student Cen­ter.
CURRENT: Do you think the complaint
is well founded?
CONLAN: "Charges too numerous t~
mention is rhetoric B.S. to me. If some­one
has charges they should list them. I
can relate to facts but not to 'charges
too numerous to mention."'
Politics to highlight seminars
Use of the room is quite simple. Re·
quest one of the fifteen headsets from
the listening room attendant at the desk,
and plug your headset into one of the
control boxes around the room (ask the
attendant for help in locating one, if nec­essary).
Select either of the two present­ly
available channels by operating the
six-position switch on the control box,
and adjust the volume control, also on
the control box. That's all you have to
do. Request sheets and record lists are
located at several points throughout the
room to help you choose the music you
would like to hear.
When dealing with large numbers of
people in a building like the Lindbloom
Student Center, it is necessary to have
guidelines for the different areas. The
listening room guidelines are as fl!lllows :
I. No eating or drinking
2. Keep shoes off furniture
3. Do not tamper with or remove any
Brodie, who graduated from Stanford
University, recently completed his fif­teenth
season as a 49er. He has been an
All Pro quarterback and has led the Na­tional
Football League in total yardage.
He is probably best known for his leader­ship
abilities on the playing field.
He will be bringing with him filmed
highlights of the past 49er season. Fol­lowing
his talk and the filmed highlights,
there will be a question-and-answer peri­od.
WSU to accept
Stan Berry, Director of Admissions at
Washington State University, has an­nounced
that students graduating from
Green River Community College with the
Associate in Arts or the Associate in Sci­ence
degree can enroll at WSU with full
junior standing beginning with the fall
semester, 1972.
Students with the Associate in Arts,
CURRENT: If impeached, will you ap­peal?
CONLAN: "I would strongly consider
it."
CURRENT: Would your feelings about
the action change depending on whether
or not you are impeached?
CONLAN: "I don't think my feelings
would change whether I am impeached
or not."
CURRENT: Have your relations with the
student senators or other members of
the executive board been dfected?
GRCC grads
or the Associate in Science degree will
have already completed the General
University Requirements at WSU, and
will be held only for the departmental
requirements of the program in which
they seek a degree. The student must
also obtain the sufficient total credits to
meet the 120 hours required for degrees
at WSU.
"Now is the time when things are
happening, and now is the time to get
involved."
. This sentence basically summarizes
the reasons for the political seminars
which are to be held today and Monday
in SS 2 at noon.
Directed by John Barnard and Mere­dith
Van Ry, these informal "rap" ses­sions
will "attempt to show students how
they can get directly involved in govern­ment,
NOW," according to Barnard.
The general format will be open, al­lowing
a broad variety of subjects to be
covered.
Barnard points out that these meet­ings
are open to anyone interested and
that they are to be totally non-partisan.
The first meeting, this afternoon, is
expected to cover the aspects of 'party
structure, technical processes in regard
to nominating conventions as compare
